"PayDay 2 is the follow up to the 2011 co-op shooter PayDay: The Heist. Though it retains the heist theme from the original game, PayDay 2 is a completely new evolution that took the heist theme from the first game and turned it into a crime simulator."
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
I picked up the first game in the series on the recent Steam Sale. I was curious about this one. $30 seems a little steep to me, but it sounds like it's worth it!
